Stone Mountianwww.stonemountainpark.com
July 4th is one of the busiest days at the park, but if you are wanting to get a little exercise and loads of fun, go early. For the past several years, the park has closed at noon when they reached crowd capacity. It is a great treat to climb stone mountain and watch the fireworks from a great vantage point. Don’t forget your flashlight, the trip back down the mountain is very dark. There is a per car fee to get in the park. Many of th activities in the park charge a fee as well.
